INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The name of the discipline is hydrology and is
formed by two Greek words: "hydro" and "logos"
meaning "water" and "science".
Hydrology is the science concerned with the
occurrence, distribution, movement and
properties of all the waters of the Earth.
A good understanding of the hydrologic processes
is important for the assessment of the water
resources, their management and conservation
on global and regional scales.

P = 150 cm/yr
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
Seepage = Infiltration=
Groundwater flow =
9.2 x 10-7 cm/s
ET = 45 cm/yr
Assume all flow in river is
due to runoff R = Qout
Qout = 40 m3/s
